12 Days of Christmas *Day 10* Gina K Designs

09:00

Hi Crafters,

I am so excited to be having a Gina K weekend on the 12 Days of Christmas! Today I am taking apart the Merry and Bright Stamp Kit - so amazing with (2) 6x8 stamp sets, three coordinating dies and 24 sheets of the amazing Gina K cardstock all for $59.96 (value $123)! I wanted to show off three completely different looks to show just how versatile this card kit is. It truly is amazing. Gina is also so generous and is sponsoring a $50 gift certificate for one lucky winner which will be announced November 10th!

I started off very simple for this card. I stamped the ornament once along with the sentiment and embossed them in gold. As simple and pretty as they looked, I wanted more.

Using some post it notes, I masked off the ornament I embossed and added one more. I just couldn't stop so I added a third. I love how the designs in the ornaments are stretched to make it look round!

This is the ultimate bulk holiday card because it involves stamping four stamps at the same time using versa mark ink, embossing in white and mounting it onto some cardstock. It is so simple and elegant and only takes minutes. You can also use the Hanukkah or Christmas dies instead of the Holiday.

I'm all about white frames. I think adding that card panel on top of a card base makes everything look so clean and finished.

This card was relatively complex for those who have some time. I embossed all of the pinecones using copper embossing powder and die cut them all using the coordinating dies. I then glue them all onto a piece of cardstock and die cut them using a stitched rectangle die. I stamped the Christmas sentiment and cut it using the coordinating die.

This is the most amazing card kit. I love the versatility you demonstrated with your cards. I love each of them. The ornaments are gorgeous, but my heart belongs to the pinecones. Thank you, for this fabulous series of videos.

I watched the video first. I look forward to them. I love what you did with this kit and what a generous donation from Gina K.

I love all 3 cards you made! The pine one is my fav! It is something that I wouldn't think to make but now I will! I agree that the Merry and Bright Kit is a great deal! I have paid that much just for one Stamp & Die set! I also love how versatile the kit is!

I absolutely love embossing, and your cards are the reason why. They look so elegant and professionally made. I like people to go “Wow” when they pull the card out of the envelope. And this Gina K designs kit is super elegant. Beautiful cards.

Such beautiful cards. I bought the Merry &bright kid and I am loving it! Followed Gina and made 2 cards last night so I will watch your videos and follow your instructions tomorrow! Thanks to you & Gina for a chance to win!
